R. Natraj" <nn07+@andrew.cmu.edu> Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Changing 386BSD Partition size Date: Sun, 16 May 1993 10:08:58 -0400 Organization: Doctoral student, Industrial Administration, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 14 Message-ID: <wfxYfuW00WB542P1V=@andrew.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: po3.andrew.cmu.edu I have a machine with 325M hard drive partitioned as 80M for DOS (cyls 0-248) and 245M (cyls 249-1010) for 386BSD. I would like do the following: Increase 386BSD partition size to 245+x, decrease the size of the DOS partition appropriately and also increase the swap space size from the default to say 30M. Is there any way to do this without reinstalling 386BSD from scratch? What if I decided to use the whole disk for 386BSD? Is it any easier to do the above? Thanks in advance for your replies. Natraj.
